Art for the future generations and for a greener world. All my inks, sprays, textiles and paper are certified eco-friendly and sustainable.

Textiles

Neutral® is the result of more than 20 years of experience in the conventional textile industry, witnessing a constant pressure for lower prices at the expense of natural and human resources.

As a result, founders Lars Bech and Christina Larsen have been dedicated to develop a platform for sustainable clothing, manufactured with true respect for people and planet. In 2008, Neutral® officially became that platform.

Hahnemühles environmental responsibility cannot be separated from the company's history. Our production site is located in the middle of a centuries-old cultural landscape with natural habitats. The closeness to nature shapes our actions and therefore

WE CERTIFIED THAT OUR BRANDS ARE ENVIRONMENTALY FRIENDLY.

Since the paper industry requires a great deal of water and fibres, ecology plays an important part in Clairefontaine's company strategy. All the paper pulp comes from forests certifiedfor their environmentalfriendly management. Clairefontaine actively participates in the development of French forests, by managing several hundred hectares of fir and spruce trees in the Vosges mountains.

With regards to the paper mill itself in the Etival Clairefontaine region, it is still as dynamic 150 years after its conception. Self-sufficient for 80% of its electrical consumption, the mill also has its own biological installations for water treatment, and has been rewarded a “Water trophy” by the State.

Naturally, Clairefontaine notebooks can be completely recycled. Every step of the product life cycle is taken into account, from the wood selection, to the manufacturing process, to the finishing of the product.

Our paper production is controlled under specific ecological criteria: - Energy consumption, air pollutants and water usage are reduced during paper manufacturing. - Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and dangerous substances in inks, glues and other solutions are used limitedly. - Systematic waste treatment is applied to collect reusable materials. - Finished products are recyclable and made from renewable materials.

Inks

Spray

A revolutionary health conscious formula, with high performance capabilities. Sugar is unlike any aerosol product you’ve ever used. The world’s first hybrid water and alcohol based acrylic aerosol paint. Sugar is harvested specifically to deliver the highest quality results for artists, with the lowest possible impact on your health and our environment. Our innovations in aerosol technology have lead to a unique formulation, which combines water with alcohol made from sugarcane to replace petroleum-based solvents. As a result, Sugar contains fewer Volatile Organic Compounds, meaning less toxins absorbed into the user’s body and less environmental impact, while still delivering a superior product that is designed to meet the modern needs of today’s artists.
